Driving with Porn
From autoblog.com

Police in South Carolina pulled over a driver who was playing an X-rated DVD on his in-car video system. The driver could face felony charges of disseminating or promoting obscenity, based on the argument that a kid could have been looking through the windows.

  • Good to know South Carolina’s police are working hard to keep the streets safe and clean.

  • Autoblog:

    A Tampa Bay TV station has reported that one Tracy Pope was pulled over in Aiken, South Carolina for just such an offense. While our understanding of the legal use of porn in private is touchy at best, it seems kind of obvious that sharing your taste in blue movies with the rest of the drivers around you will only attract the men in blue.

    Officers said that Pope was pulled over while playing an X-rated DVD on his in-car video system, which amounts to a felony disseminating or promoting obscenity charge based on the argument that minors could have easily been exposed to the porn by looking into the vehicle through the uncovered windows.

    Just another excuse to go after anything related to porn by claiming they have to the “dyed-in-the-wool purity” of minors, meaning innocent “children” under 18. Teenagers, including pre-teens, are anything but darling little innocents. (Look at how they can bully each other, can tease, ostracize and meet out their own punishment to other children. Were you every bullied as a child? Were things always rosey and innocent for you?

    Bill Mahr is about the only personality in the media to cite this reality for what it is.

    “...minors could have easily been exposed to the porn by looking into the vehicle through the uncovered windows”.

    Wake up and smell the coffee. They’ve already discovered it on the Internet, and many teenagers say they already find it boring.

    Most countries in the world are more concerned that childen be protected from seeing violence, while in the U.S., lovemaking is horrible for children to see, and violence is irrelevant.

    The country possessing the most bombs, and the most immaturity…
